Only the statutory rights cannot be withdrawn. Perhaps this is the source of confusion for those working in stores.
They could, as long as the consumer is adequately informed at the point of purchase that the item is excluded from their xyz guarantee (store terms)
I thought this was still true regardless of the first condition you applied, as in if you are told about a specific fault and buy the item anyway at the original price, then "it’s just that fault you can’t return it for". You seem to suggest that if the buyer refuses a discount, then the item can be returned on the basis of the fault that the buyer was informed about before purchase?
I expect that MSE Martin was assuming that no MSE'er would ever pay full price for a known fault item.
This article essentially explains the differing rights between known faults and non-known faults at point of sale.
